题型:不详难度:来源:
Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother’s Camp(营地). There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone.
At Mother’s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask,“Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.”In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.
In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can’t find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.
Some women go to Mother’s Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don’t cook, they don’t clean, they don’t look after their children and husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother’s Camp.

核心考点
试题【Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother’s Camp(营地). There, husbands and 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck, or because an unexpected twist(扭曲)has made your neck ache. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.
That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.
One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.
Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck”.
Another, well—known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn (爆米花); he is chewing(嚼)loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go—for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.
Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.
We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
We also call such a person a “rubber neck”, always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy learning about your personal business. People have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”. They hate being watched secretly.
小题1:Where can you find this passage?
A.In a medicine dictionary.B.in a kids’ story book.
C.In a social science book.D.In a science textbook.
小题2:According to the passage, how do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?
A.disturbed.B.bored.C.ignored. D.relaxed.
小题3:A “rubber neck” often __________________ .
A.says bad words behind people.B.quarrels face to face with neighbors.
C.bargains with salespeople over the price D.asks about other people’s business
小题4:Which of the following persons CANNOT be described as a “pain in the neck”?
A.Someone who often claps at the wrong time during a performance.
B.Someone who feels ache in his neck due to a cold in the muscles.
C.Someone who sits next to you smoking, which you never enjoy.
D.Someone who keeps eating or talking all through the movies.
小题5:What is the main purpose of the author?
A.To tell people what might be bad manners in public.
B.To criticize (批评) the people who might be a “pain in the neck”
C.To show anger to those who are described as a “pain in the neck”.
D.To tell people how to stop the pain in the neck.

One of the keys to being successful is persistence(坚持).Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take active action in order to succeed.
One of the things you"ll notice on your journey towards your goal are roadblocks. That is, you will come across obstacles(障碍) to discourage your progress. Actually, they are a part of life. Everyone would have every success they ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is to be persistent and work through those obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, chances are that you are not really challenging yourself. And when you do reach your goal, you won"t experience the feeling of "sweet success". Make your goal a challenging one!
If you take the time to study any successful person, you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more "failures" than they have had "successes". This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble(绊倒)and fall, the more they get right back up and get going again. On the other hand, people that don"t get back up and try again, never reach success. For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the "Happiest Place on Earth". Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared "the joy of Disney".
Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate(再评估)your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify(修改)your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and
therefore find a better way to do it the next time.
Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency, towards tomorrow"s successes!
小题1:The author seems to hold the belief that      .
A.challenges we come across are beneficial
B.obstacles will surely lead to someone’s success

A.Making a practical goal will ensure your success.
B.Having a beautiful picture will lead to your success.
C.Never giving up in face of failure may contribute to your success.
D.Suffering from more failures will make you disappointed.
小题3:What must you reevaluate constantly?
A.Attitudes and skills.B.Circumstances and ways.
C.Roadblocks and challenges.D.Failures and successes.
小题4:What’s the text mainly about?
A.Persistence makes for successB.Overcome obstacles

You may never connect the words “good” and “eco-friendly”with plastic.It’s time to do a rethink on that as we say hello to hemp(大麻)plastic.Traditionally,plastics have been made from petrochemicals,which are mainly poisonous.Plants,on the other hand,are also a source of cellulose(纤维素),which can be used to make biodegradable (生物所能分解的)plastic.As hemp happens to be one of the richest sources of cellulose,it is only natural that scientists will support its use,considering its ecological benefits.
Hemp plastic is biodegradable and recyclable.If you thought being eco-friendly reduced its solidity,you couldn’t be more wrong.The hard level of hemp plastic can match that of regular plastic.Hemp plastic is resistant to heat;however,the most outstanding feature of a few varieties of hemp plastic is that they are flame resistant too.Finally,if Henry Ford could imagine creating a car with this material,we can perhaps believe that it indeed is“ten times stronger than steel”.
It is a pity that with so many useful qualities,we don’t see hemp plastic being used in our everyday life,the way it ought to be.Hemp plastic can easily take the place of the exiting plastic in products like cell phone chargers(充电器),laptop covers,etc.Currently,hemp plastic is being used to produce audio(音响设备),video,toys,automobile parts and packaging materials.
Hemp fiber is one of the strongest natural fibers known to us.As scientists keep looking for ways to solve the ecological damage that traditional plastics have caused,here is a material that can be produced to be 100% biodegradable.Hemp plastic is known to be several times durable as compared to polypropylene(聚丙烯)plastic,and it comes without all the health and safety threats,It really has long useful life.
Plastics keep reminding us of the damage that we have done to our planet,all under the excuse of convenience.As hemp products have become a new choice into our daily life,Please take a green plan now and make your effort to protect the environment.
小题1:Plastics produced in the traditional way are______.
A.harmfulB.made from plants
C.good and eco-friendlyD.biodegradable
小题2:According to Para.2,hemp plastic_____.
A.is all resistant to flameB.doesn’t have enough solidity
C.will take the place of steelD.can be used again after being processed
小题3:What does the underlined word“durable”mean in Para.4?
A.Very useful of important.
B.Costing little money or less money.
C.Staying in good condition for a long time.
D.Existing in large numbers or in many places.
小题4:Which aspect of hemp plastic isn’t mentioned in the passage?
A.Features.B.Production costC.Applications.D.Advantages.
小题5:What can we know from the passage?
A.Using hemp plastic is inconvenient.
B.People haven’t made the most of hemp.
C.Hemp fiber is a kind of strong man-made fiber.
D.Scientists have already known how to solve ecological damage.
